The violent incident, likened to an assassination attempt, came after Quintez Brown veered toward increasingly radical politics in recent years, meeting just last week with a representative for a Black nationalist paramilitary group.

Booker described Brown as “a brilliant young scholar” who spoke at his Senate launch years prior.

“He is the last person on this planet I thought would do something like this,” Jones told The Daily Beast on Tuesday. “I have been teaching at the university for 26 years—and Quintez Brown was one of the most brilliant students I have ever had.” Police say that Brown was found less than a half-mile from the campaign headquarters within 10 minutes. The arrest report states police found a loaded 9mm magazine inside his pants pocket and a handgun, handgun case, and additional magazines inside a drawstring bag.

Brown’s defense lawyer, Rob Eggert, insisted to a judge on Tuesday that his client’s clean criminal record and strong ties to the community should be a case for his release despite the violent allegations. Noting that Brown has a history of mental health issues—and that he plans to have him evaluated—Eggert also pointed to the fact that the defendant is still a senior in college.
